#Shorts
The bore is drifting. +0.04 mm.
The operator sees it first.

Old way: report up the line, wait for approval to come back down. The machine keeps cutting scrap.
New way: let the operator stop it.

"Don't move information to authority, move authority to the information."
– L. David Marquet, Captain, USS Santa Fe, Turn the Ship Around! (2012)

The person at the machine sees the problem first. Trust them to fix it.

PUSH DECISIONS DOWN.
